Is the production of ammonium sulfate from sulfuric acid a redox reaction? Explain using oxidation numbers.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

HSO4 --> (NH4)2SO4

Yes it is a redox reaction.

H is +1

S is +7

on the other side..

N is -3

H is +1 (always +1, thats part of the oxidation rule)

S is +6

O is always -2

So what happened? Sulfur lost one electron, so it is reduced. This is why is a redox reaction.
